The 2008 Gaba do Xil is 100% Godello from Valdeorras. Stainless steel fermented and raised, it displays a light straw color, and enticing aromas of mineral, baking spices, spring flowers, citrus, and almonds. In the mouth it has excellent concentration, ripe, savory flavors, vibrant acidity, and a clean, lengthy finish. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.
The talented Telmo Rodriguez makes a wide range of high quality wines from both ends of the price spectrum.
